Need to purchase some new seed potatoes.
Recommendations?

Not Diggers as I understand you need to be a member.

You don't need to be a member to buy but they get a discount.   Aside from
that try Eden's or your local feed and produce store.

Any hay and corn store will have them, but
go to the supermarket, pick out some potatos you like,
 take them home and leave them in a cardboard box
they will sprout and then plant them out

First problem is finding a "hay and corn store"
Second problems will be customs.
Third problem is that spuds sold at supermarket comes from a different
climate.
Fourth, I was hoping to grow a different variety for taste.

Sorry, showing my age,  a produce store or anywhere they sell stuff to
farmers



Think they closed the custom gates between states years ago



Yes, usually, but pick out the spuds you want, then take them home Think you
will find they will grow almost anywhere


There are heaps of different spuds out there, Safeway sometimes have a
gourmet rack of potatos,

just sort through them and try a few of each till you find the one you like
better.

Only thing is instead of paying a few cents a kilo, you would be looking at
a couple of dollars per kilo
